We all have the power to age with grace and dignity... we all aspire to age beautifully... our current lifestyle determines whether we match our chronological age and biological ageing... But some of us are ageing at a faster pace .. also known as biological age... Few simple blood tests can reveal if you are biologically ageing faster and what those markers reflect... Knowing and optimising them will enhance your ageing process Masterclass session coming soon..... Knowledge is power...

Our liver helps detoxify our bodies by binding toxins in a bag to be eliminated.
Beta glucuronidase rips open these bags and spill toxins back in circulation .

These toxins are associated with colon cancer and other malignancies.
inhibits formation of compound Beta- glucuronidase.It is an enzyme that is created when pathogenic bacteria rot food.

Food fiber ( like apple pectin) creates growth media butyrate.
Butyrate may reduce risk of colon cancer by inducing pathway that enhances mitochondrial function.
in a nut shell eating more fiber, will help.
Age old saying an apple a day , keeps a doctor away….

This week building healthy habit… let’s start our day with an apple.Are you in?

SOY:The new protein power house! But what type of soy makes sense

While Soy or soy proteins isolates are potentially anti-nutritive due to inter alia their high phytate and oxalic acids levels, cultured soy products like miso, Natto, and tempeh are nutritional powerhouses with enhanced bio availability .

Fermented soy consumption may be a factor low low breast cancer cases in Japan

Miso: a fermented soybean is rich in genilstein and daises both isoflavoneglycones considered to be cancer chemopreventatius. Raw soybean contain precursor to these two which becomes active anti cancer isoflavone form in miso.

So in a nut shell food is not bad, it’s about the form of food, qty of food, , cooking style that matters, don’t go after the media madness that people endorse
Make wise decision

Are you cooking your food the right way:

People are talking about calorie restriction, protein but why no one talks about glycoproteins and cyanide formed in food by the way you cook and type of food you choose.
Glycoprotein formed from the baking and browning of foods are also called glycotoxins and are capable of exacerbating inflammation in patients with diabetes

Similar to glycotoxins is the formation of acrylamide , a possible carcinogen in fried and baked foods

Foods that are high in sugar and/or processed at high temperatures, especially those that are browned or cooked until well-done, including meat, pastries, and some processed foods are high on glycotoxins

* Foods High in Glycotoxins:
* Meats: Especially red meat, grilled, barbecued, or well-done meats. 

* Seafood: Can contain glycotoxins, especially when cooked at high temperatures. 

* Processed Foods: Chips, cookies, crackers, and other highly processed foods. 

* Pastries and Baked Goods: Bread, especially crusty bread, and other baked goods. 

* Caramel and Cola: These contain high amounts of sugar and are often processed at high temperatures. 

* Fried Foods: Any food fried in oil, including chicken nuggets, fried fish, and fried eggs. 

* Certain Cheeses: Some cheeses, especially those with high moisture content, can contain glycotoxins. 

* Nuts and Seeds: Can contain glycotoxins, especially when roasted or fried. 

* Foods Lower in Glycotoxins:
* Fruits and Vegetables: Generally low in glycotoxins, especially when eaten raw. 

* Whole Grains: Intact whole grains are lower in glycotoxins compared to processed grains. 

* Legumes: Beans and lentils are generally low in glycotoxins. 

* Low-Fat Milk: Low-fat milk is safer than full-fat milk in terms of AGEs. 

* Cooking Methods:
* High Heat Cooking: Roasting, frying, grilling, and broiling can significantly increase glycotoxin levels. 

* Low Heat Cooking: Steaming, boiling, poaching, and microwaving can help reduce glycotoxin formation. 

* Marinating: Marinating meat in an acidic solution (like vinegar or lemon juice) before cooking also reduces AGE production

Ozempic coined as a new weight loss wonder drug…. Lot of celebrities taking it, while not admitting and lot of youngster getting inspired and using it to loose weight

I am totally against it until and unless you are Type 2 diabetic and it’s recommended to use ozempic…

Another few years you will see a surge in cases related to side effects of its usage..

Weight loss in sustainable manner will be better if done the old fashioned way
Calorie deficit
Ample hydration
Sufficient sleep
Stress management
And
Movement

If you take short cut , life will be eventually cut short

More coming soon

Can your healthy oil ( fatty acid) harming you?
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) fount in things like walnuts, flaxseeds, sesame oil, almonds, pumpkin seeds

These are rich in omega3 and omega 6 which have multiple health benefits( another post for another day)

But do you know that PUFa are vulnerable to oxidation, rancidification, and/or hydrogenation.

These fatty acids must be protected from heat, light, oxygen, and prolonged storage.

Once structurally altered by oxygen, heat, light they lose some or all its biological value , and can potentially cause disease forming properties by interfering with fatty acids metabolism, altering cell membrane dynamics and/or direct /indirect inflammatory and carcinogenic effect

Things to avoid
1 long storage
2) storing in plastic or clear glass bottle
3 Buying in bulk qty even if it’s cheap
4 Reheating and reusing oil
5 Eating too much

Keep it simple and sustainable till next time
